One of the possible winning conditions in Sid Meirs Civilization series is the launch of a shuttle to another galaxy (the closest Proxima Centauri). This is just about where Stardock takes up and continues
to spread the human influence across the Universe. Friend or foe, many alien races cross your way. In Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords the Terran Alliance based on Earth in 2225 was working to build an interstellar alliance to ward of the powerful and hostile Drengin Empire. Into this mix came the Dread Lords - a race of insanely powerful beings who had been imprisoned in a pocket dimension. Suddenly, a three-way war was underway. The Dread Lords only weakness is that they were few in number (as in, only numbering in the hundreds). Dark Avatar includes a ton of new features as well as a new campaign in which players must take on the role of leader of the evil Drengin Empire to deal with an internal challenge to their dominance - the Korath.
Dark Avatar pretty much redesigns Galactic Civilizations II. It features an enhanced galaxy setup screen, custom made opponents, new requirements for colonization, new graphics, enhanced technology tree and asteroids to mine. War is not the only way to win the favor of the entire galaxy, theres also diplomacy. Powerful new treaties show up with the expansion and tons of extra details turn up in the Foreign Reports or the decisions to surrender or fight till extinction of enemies. With all the new stuff, I bet you could use a little help at defeating those pasty aliens and blast their civilization to star dust. OK, I get a little carried away. First of all you have to enable the cheat mode. To do that you have to add the word cheat to a shortcut to the game so it would look something like this (depending on the location of you GalCiv2 folder):
